The Yellow Van Company

‘Eddy’ gave me a quote of £40 to pick up 4 big suitcases and 3 small ones and move them from my first floor flat to a second floor flat. I sent him a text confirming that the pick up address was on the first floor and the drop off address was on the second floor. He confirmed that it would cost £40 — all inclusive. He arrived an hour late and from the instant he came he complained about how heavy the suitcases were. Why did he think we hired a mover? Precisely because the suitcases are heavy. Did he think we wanted to waste £40 and hire a mover for the fun of it? After he moaned and complained about how heavy everything was and finally arrived at our destination, he said he would charge extra for stairs. When I told him that he had agreed to do the move for £40 all inclusive he claimed he didn’t know there were stairs involved. When I said that I had told him about the stairs in the text, he lied and said that I hadn’t. Then he threatened to call the cops. I was more than happy for him to do that and when I encouraged him he picked up one of my suitcases and threw it back in his van. I had to physically block the door and he tried to push me away. When I finally managed to pull up the text that I had sent him, he changed his tune and said that the text message was not proof of anything and that he wanted his money. We finally just threw the money at him and told him to get the hell out of there while he said that we were blacklisted!!! The cheek! Like we’d EVER use his services again. Do not call this guy. He’s a cheat, he’s lazy and he’s the world’s WORST mover. In short the BIG YELLOW VAN is a BIG YELLOW SCAM.

Absolutely great service. I moved flat and they truck showed up on time, the driver was pleasant, and he even let me ride in the truck to the new flat with him, which unlike other more expensive man with a van services is unusual from what I’ve heard.
I would highly recommend them, amazing rates, and a job well done. They even doe Ikea pick ups!
